Raptor Technologies Reimagines the Future of School Safety with Launch of New Products in 2024

HOUSTON – April 16, 2024 – Raptor Technologies, the leading innovator in school safety solutions, redefines the landscape of school security with the latest expansion of its Raptor School Safety Software Suite. The expanded 2024 product lineup combines unprecedented flexibility, leading-edge technology, and next-level user convenience to provide the only truly integrated software platform covering the entire school safety spectrum.

"We are committed to setting the standard for school safety software in the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond," said Gray Hall, chief executive officer of Raptor Technologies. "Raptor is reimagining the approach to school safety, paving the way for a new era where protecting students and staff is a collaborative, community-wide effort. This comprehensive approach encourages schools to embrace a broader perspective on safety, moving beyond physical and traditional boundaries to create an environment where the responsibility for safety is shared.”

Encompassing multiple new products, services, and functionality improvements across its entire product portfolio, each is designed to complement each other across a common SaaS platform. New supporting mobile applications provide access to security services for both communities and staff, setting a new standard in safety excellence.

"Our integrated platform and new 2024 product lineup achieve a comprehensive range of school safety objectives, including preventive measures, emergency preparation, response, and recovery, and proactive initiatives to reduce risk," stated Chris Noell, chief product officer for Raptor Technologies. “Simply put, we’re empowering schools to create safer environments with unparalleled efficiency."

Imagining a future where parents can effortlessly schedule a student's absence or check-in at large campus events with a simple tap on their phone, where on-campus violence is prevented before it even begins, and emergency response times are drastically reduced. This is the vision driving Raptor's latest innovations. In pursuit of these objectives, Raptor announces it is launching, in 2024, the following new and enhanced products:

Raptor VisitorSafe™: The next generation of Raptor Visitor Management expands the visitor experience that Raptor is known for by adding self-service options, support for new platforms (including iOS devices), a digital passport for frequent visitors, and incorporating large-scale events.
